Adventurethon!

The new Pinkathon Adventurethon event will be fun for both walkers and runners of all ages (including kids accompanied by parents) who are interested in trying something new and interesting this year! Distances will be 2, 4 and 6 miles.

We will form teams of 2 -6 people. Teams larger than 6 are not ideal – unless you don’t care about winning! You can form a team with your friends and family – or we can match you with other people who want to do the distance and speed. We’ll contact you with more details after you sign up. If you are signing up as a single (no friends or family or team-mates), please email us at ellen@pinkathon.org and we’ll put you on a team with other people!

Each team will receive a list of clues to solve which will lead them to several well-known or lesser-known interesting locations within 2-3 miles of the SF Ferry Building. After solving the clues, the teams set out to visit as many of those locations as possible and take digital group selfie photos of themselves at these locations as proof they were there. Each location has a certain point value based on the difficulty of the clue and the distance from the start/finish.

Sample Clues:

Find the statue of the Major League Baseball Player known as the “Say Hey Kid” and take a group selfie in front of it.

Find the San Francisco monument that resembles a fire hydrant and take a group selfie in front of it.

Many of the clues will be harder! You are welcome to use your mobile phone to ask Google for help in solving clues.

Return to the Pinkathon Finish Line at the SF Ferry Building no later than 10 AM and submit your digital photos to the “score keepers” who will see how many points your team gets. There may be prizes for the winners – but the team adventure is a prize in and of itself!
